ART-SPEAK IS THE CITY OF PORTSMOUTH'S
CULTURAL COMMISSION
Art-Speak was created as a direct result of the Portsmouth Cultural Plan. Art-Speak exists officially on behalf of the City to represent and promote arts and culture, and to act on all related matters. Its mission is to promote appreciation, awareness, participation, and dialogue in support of arts and culture. Art-Speak performs these services for the City of Portsmouth and its City Council and all artists and art/cultural-related organizations in the Seacoast community. Please see the Art-Speak fact sheet for more information.
The Mayor's Blue Ribbon Committee on Arts and Culture was created in the fall of 1999 to develop a Cultural Plan, Community Life and the Arts. It was approved by Portsmouth City Council and incorporated into the City's Master Plan.
